Some mobile phones / networks have a message delivered feature. An issue came up the other day as to when a message was delivered to a phone. (Partly because I feel that it is less intrusive to send a text than call a mobile, when the other party could be busy.) For mobiles, if I look on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS, it seems that "SMS messages are delivered to the operator's SMSC, but not the subscriber's handset; the SMSC takes care of further handling of the message through the SS7 network." It goes on to draw distinctions between - local termination model. Aggregators lack direct access into the SS7 protocol, which is the protocol where the SMS messages are exchanged. SMS messages are delivered to the operator's SMSC, but not the subscriber's handset; the SMSC takes care of further handling of the message through the SS7 network.- international termination model. The advantage of this model is theability to route data directly through SS7, which gives the provider total control and visibility of the complete path during SMS routing. So on mobiles in UK the "message delivered" option means the message is delivered to the recipient operators via the local termination model? Can anyone shed light or point me to a website that highlights which mobile phone companies operation "local termination centres" or "international termination model"
As far as I know, you just need to turn on the feature on your phone. Whether your phone has that option is another question.
At a company I do some work for we always get message delivered notification. We use it for timing reporting etc.
We have in the past told vodafone of cell problems that they have not detected!
